We have these as noisy residents in the city, though local colors are less blue, even in males. My impression is that they are a lot more common than I remember in the past. Certainly the robins and sparrows disappeared when we started to hear the Merlins each morning. Great eyes.

I agree Pat. I intentionally cut off his legs because he was wearing jesses (the leather straps that are used to restrain birds), and I wanted to present a natural-looking bird. When I framed the shot, I "zoomed" to get the space right on the sides, and the head room just fell out.

Sharp as allways James. A little too much headroom and not enough feet...IMHO

James -- It looks like this shot was taken in a portrait studio! Very nice work in isolating your subject and using a blurred depth-of-field to focus attention on the bird. Clean image.
